The Previous Previous Works 1
and Previous Works 2
webpages explore four short graphic stories predating Love
(October 2012), a work acting as boundary between two of Daniela Filippin’s
distinct creative phases, from her “rebirth” in mid-2011 to the present day.
The four “Previous Works” hereby discussed are The Gift Basket
(late 2011), The Grieving (February 2012), a second version
of The Gift Basket (March-April 2012) and
The Voyage (May-July 2012) – all acting as
stepping-stones to progressive phases as an artist and resulting
in Love, as well as everything that came along
after it. For a start, compared with later stories these works
make a more explicit use of symbols and metaphors, as well as
delving into a dream dimension.
